Update:

I am not a minister, by any means. But the State of California had ordained me to perform weddings. At the request of former students, and against my better judgement, I have performed two weddings. I was prepared for that to be all. Then I got a call from Brittany who with Jake, former student since age 6, asked me if I would officiate their upcoming wedding, October 10, 2020? I was flattered and honored, but not eager as it is a huge responsibility for me, I did agree.

So last night, we met at Descanso's in Costa Mesa ... 

to eat and discuss the wedding plans. It is exciting to see this beautiful young couple plan their life together.
 

 

  

In the news ...

 

I love tennis, and a few players in particular, Rafael Nadal, Serena, and now Naomi Osaka. Naomi is a soft-spoken, humble, kind young lady. Tennis star Naomi Osaka, who has donned face masks during the US Open featuring Black people whose deaths have sparked calls for racial justice.

Osaka was nearly brought to tears by video messages from theparents of Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery thanking her.

I feel like I'm a vessel at this point in order to spread awareness.

Mail service is all in the news.

I will not go into that, as I need a politics-free place.

But the top collage had the title within it, so I went with that. 

But, it got me thinking about stamps.

A friend & artist John Arbuckle often uses stamps skillfully.

And I know I have a box of stamps here somewhere. 

I found it.  I had bought a lacquered tea box recycled.

 

It is perfect for storing my used stamps.

And, because I do stamp people, I have a lot of unused stamps.

Now to put them to use, letter writing, and art.

Just because ...
